Steal your face..
On 7/13/89 they opened 2nd set at RFK with He's Gone. Not sure that happened too many other times For all the people who dump on DJG wish they would note
...
her contributions on the mellower songs like this. Really nice harmonies Into a strong Truckin' Too me I wanted them to really focus and not rush this tune and that is exactly what we get here Still some minor vocal flubs but no train wrecks. The jam after the first section of lyrics gives everybody a chance to extend out a little might be a cut just before the Other One as Phil bass line seems to come out of almost nowhere. The order of the 2nd set is important because they play THE OTHER ONE super early in this set. Probably to make space for the Wake of The Flood material with the horns There is another cut about 5:00 minutes into TOO Um Wharf Rat>Row Jimmy DOUBLE BALLAD! I recall they played Row Jimmy with horns out West? but not on this night in Philly. Again Row Jimmy another song where Donna shines brightly. The Horns = very cool unique and I think what Jerry was looking for when he dabbled in the Midi effects in the later years. LET ME SING- A true 70's tune If it wasn't the GD, it could of gotten AM air play Dig the line : "Push in the button, let the top 10 play" You really have to be at least in your 50's now to get that reference. Ouch cut in SING YOUR BLUES early I notice that Donna & Jerry have to steady Keith vocal levels are off on Keith but perfect for Garcia &DJG First taste of the horns, reminds me of original Saturday Night live. I have not mentioned it much but Keith from late 71 to mid 74 was a big part of the band being able to have such a full sound especially on the up tempo without Mickey WRS is for me Weir's finest hour. (they only play LET IT GROW starting in 76.) The horns don't get busy until the 'I AM' section Horns give it an almost Mexicali flavor. The jam that follows is the peak of what we actually have from this show Who knows how far they actually stretched out during PITB or the Other ONE. With this being the actual order of the 2nd set including the climax jam of the night They coda back into the WRS On stage encore-Sat Night (The occasion on hand) Left the stage encore- Casey Jones who doesn't like Casey Jones with HORNS.. Without the cuts this would be up there for favorite 2nd sets
One of the better shows from the September 1973 tour. Too bad about the harsh cuts in Sugaree, Big River, and Playin, and others, but this is a great transfer—-thanks
...
for the tube amp!

I Was There
A fine show on a very chilly Friday night. Doug Sahm Band opened the show. Nice Here Comes Sunshine in the first set, that ended with a kickin' Playing
...
In The Band. The real fun starts in the second set. For around an hour they jam through He's Gone > Truckin' > The Other One > Wharf Rat > Row Jimmy. Whew! A LOT of this very intense rendition of The Other One is missing from the board tape, including some of the spaciest parts. Someone set off a string of firecrackers during He's Gone, just after the "steal your face" line. A short break while mics were set up for Martin Fierro (sax) and Joe Ellis (trumpet). The horns sat in for the rest of the show, including the Casey Jones encore. The sound in the arena (with its far-from-stellar acoustics) was amazing with the 1973 sound system, the precursor to the Wall Of Sound. Well played overall and well worth a listen if you like 73. PS: This is the actual running order of the sets. Other postings have Set 2 start with the horns.
